"spunkytoofers wavescaper- circuit bent with a midi interface that allows every bend to be open source/destation controlled under midi cc, program change, and sequenced under midi notes. destinations include effects bends, oscillator bends, stacked bends, sample rate on/off, and independant midi controlled outputs to synch to external gear including the option to interface with other spunkytoofers instruments. interface aligns a 24 point patchbay bend configuration to be selected quickly on the fly which allows real time bent sequencing over an intuitive interface for oscillator or effects.

this demo merges an akai ewi4000s wind controller and the dave smith evolver which is sending it evolving sequence information. the ewi is used as cross modulation to the sequences, note information, envelope control, filter control, as well as controlling sample rate at certain times. no external processing: sound output is directly from the alesis and it's onboard circuit bent quadraverb fx processor

midi circuitry by highly liquid. high precision oscillators by getlofi, and circuit bending the patchman"windtube" patch

Electric Independence: Xeno and Oaklander

some synth spotting via motherboard.tv. via Seema
"Liz Wendelbo and Sean McBride make up the minimal electronics duo known as Xeno and Oaklander. Instead of geeking out on software like much of their Brooklyn brethren, the pair record their songs live in their home studio, playing analog synthesizers and drum machines exclusively. On this episode of Electric Independence, we learn how this handsome duo of Norwegian/French/American heritage fashions a raw, distopian 80’s dance beat that buzzes with a sense of robot horror."

"Don't expect a masterpiece here, just fooling around with the knobs and the patch bay.. Visited a music store the other day and stumbled upon this, I was offered it for a REAL bargain price (70 bucks!), needless to say I bought it on looks alone :) Turns out the vst plug-in its bundled with ain't half bad either! I know it's not a real MS-20 and yes the original might have a bit warmer sound, but this is about as close as you'll get to the real deal for 70 bucks :P "
